- Easy and quick to make. Fun variation of chocolate no-bake cookies. Coconut was a nice addition. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
- These are very tasty! They don't taste too much like caramel to me, so I might bowl the mixture longer next time but they are delicious nonetheless! :) Thanks for the recipe!
- mmm....these are good! I added the peanut butter like J-Lynn, in with the brown sugar mixture. These are like chocolate no-bake cookies, only caramel! I love the peanut butter taste!
- Yummy, yummy! These firmed up perfectly for me. I noticed the recipe does not specify when to add the peanut butter, which may be causing some people problems. I melt it in the saucepan in step 1. I also cut the b. sugar to 1 1/2 cups, and sub 1/2 cup oat bran for the coconut. Perfect!
- these made a very nice addition to my holiday cookie trays. they were a nice change from the traditional chocolate no bake cookie and were very easy to make. Will be making again.
Tweaks
- I tried these with oat bran instead of quick oats (less calories and only thing I had on hand) and it turned out *really* well. As I was making them, I was afraid that they wouldn't be very solid, somewhat due to my substitution- I rolled them into little balls in my hands and put them in the freezer for fifteen minutes and it did the trick- they stayed in one piece even after sitting out on the table for a few hours. Definately one of my new faves for get-togethers! Thanks for sharing!
